‘Fox & Friends’ Does Saturday Night Live’s Cold Open

It’s not Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert but there are some good laughs in SNL’s “Fox & Friends” from last night.

In this sketch, "Fox & Friends" interviews "Jason Chaffetz" about Planned Parenthood and his hope to become Speaker of the House. You can almost hear some NBC suit telling the cast they have to give equal time to lampooning Democrats, as if they are somehow just as irrational about Planned Parenthood and also imploding against their own party. After all, it's Republicans who want to shut down the entire government in order to withhold funds from a service providing health care to women and it's the GOP who are using misleading, selectively edited videos to make their case.

Nevertheless, an irrationally angry “Debbie Wasserman Schultz” followed "Chaffetz," with fulminations and rants.

Missing altogether was how Fox hosts routinelytry to trip up Wasserman Schultz when she appears on the "fair and balanced" network.

Watch it below, from the October 10 Saturday Night Live, and let me know what you think.
